On a coffee table in Dartmouth coach Buddy Teevens' Floren Varsity House office: a very special chess set presented to him by Doug Floren '63.Thanks to a subscriber for digging up a link to a Sports Illustrated story spun out of the 1970 team's 10-0 win over Yale in a battle of nationally ranked Ivy League squads.
Another link emailed this way is to a New York Times story about the announcement that Jeff Orleans would be retiring next year as executive director of the Ivy League. I linked to the original story a month ago. What's interesting is it was rerun in its entirety with a correction appended about the progress of women's sports in the Ivies in the early 1980's. I remember upon reading the original story thinking someone with some clout would get to the Times about that, and clearly they did.
It's a blue-sky day here in the Upper Valley with the temperature expected to crack 50 degrees and that can mean just one thing: baseball! Actually, it means two things: baseball and football. The baseball is a home doubleheader between the Big Green (6-0 in the Ivy League after sweeping Penn yesterday on Red Rolfe Field) and Columbia (5-1 Ivy). Gametime is noon.
Right around the break between the games a number of Dartmouth football players are expected to be out on Memorial Field tossing a ball around in anticipation of the start of spring practice one week from today. I hope to grab a couple or three football pictures for the blog tomorrow.
And finally this. That certain Hanover High sophomore won her age group yesterday in the 32nd Cohasset Road Race by the Sea. She was seven minutes ahead of the next under-17 finisher in the 10-K race and won a beautiful bouquet of flowers, a very nice race sweatshirt and a new pair of running shoes.
